Despite being technically more powerful than the 360

No, this is incorrect. The 360 has a better GPU and the CPU's are close enough in real world performance to where it doesn't matter. Better GPU and more flexible memory system is why the 360 games always look better and are technically better than PS3 games.

im not a fan of gta really, got bored of gta3 quick and gta4 looked like crap and just got boring real quick, real repetitive, but this gameplay video has me interested in gta5 possibly. just makes me wish it was coming out as a launch title on ps4/x1 though. it looks good for a ps3/360 game but could look so much better.

Looks great I can't wait to put some hours into this one. Looks like it is a lot more interesting than gta 4. Especially with all that you can do and how they described the style of gameplay. Gotta say those are some really good graphics for ps3!

Looks amazing. Very impressed, can't wait to play it. I'm still saddened that there may not be a PC version? To date it is still not announced. I'm thinking it will be released a few months after the console versions, not cool.

Rock* wont announce the PC version till after the console version has been released and they will release it like 6 months later. It is their "thing" nowadays.

Always? Heh...then why isn't there a game to match Last of Us?

Wow, yeah that does look impressive. I'm blown away if that's how the PS3 version will look and it will actually be playable.

Gameplay looks like it will straddle the serious/over the top line better, which will help a lot I think.

If Sony or Microsoft had had the foresight, this could have been a killer launch game, even if it was just a bit of extra eye candy and better framerate.

Uh, It's not that simple. I'm sure they plenty of discussion went into that. With that being said, I'd hope that you're aware that GTA V was well in development years ago. Have you seen a tally of how much was spent on GTA V development? It is a substantial figure in the millions, and was started long, long ago. It's not like this is a indie project from 6 months ago with a concrete release date...so it's not like MS or Sony could have flipped a switch 2 or 3 years ago and came up with a bright idea to have it as a launch release. Additionally, you're forgetting that GTA V was delayed - it was originally supposed to be released early this year. So that would conflict with the launch of the XB1 and PS4.

I think, if anything, that MS or Sony would be wise to seek a new IP as a launch title. Think about it. Anything that is multiplatform to include 360 and PS3 would defeat the purpose of a launch title, which is to show off the abilities of the console. A multiplatform game cannot do that, as they are designed for the lowest common denominator - as you mentioned, it would be purely for framerate and nothing more. A better idea is to come up with something new and fresh which can actually show the hardware off, and that is exactly what MS and Sony are doing. They both have compelling (and great looking) launch titles planned. Titan's Fall and Kill Zone look VERY nice.

This is subjective, you like The Last of Us that doesn't make it technically superior to what Xbox 360 can do (it isnt)

if Last of Us was an Xbox 360 exclusive it would look even better, because the 360 has a much better GPU than PS3.

Hmm? Technically he isn't incorrect, the 360 GPU was a better GPU. Although both systems were pretty much equal overall.

As far as the "Last of Us", I have no opinion on which system would handle it better. Who cares, really? It's a great game.

Then why hasn't Microsoft proved this ever? There has been plenty of opportunity. Yet a Sony game on PS3 outclasses anything I have seen on the 360.

As usual... I'll have to wait for the PC version.
I refuse to buy a console for a single game.

Shooters are horrible with analog sticks. I need a keyboard and mouse.
(I assume you can get a keyboard and mouse for PS3)

Yeah it's easier with a mouse but I've never had trouble aiming in the gta games on a console. Gives me a reason not to get rid of my ps3 until I pick up the new system.

I have gotten so used to using analog sticks I don't even notice much. Especially when a certain game isn't available on PC anyway.

Can we keep the console war shit out of this thread? There's already enough threads going on for that crap.

It looked like there were more than 8 people in the short online section they showed. I am hoping that while we can play games, me and my friends can just load up a game a free roam the city and still get wanted levels so we can all gang up and have shoot outs with the cops. That is when I am having the most fun in the online on this franchise.

Day 1 blind buy, like every GTA game. If you haven't liked GTA in the past, I don't know how this one would possibly change your mind; it looks like all the others (gameplay-wise, anyway; the graphics do look improved on GTA IV). But it's one of the most successful game franchises of the last decade, so more of the same is probably exactly what they're going for (and what people want).

It actually looks like it's closer to the PS2 GTA games than IV, not as serious which IMO is much better.

Yup. GTA4 really soured me on the whole series. Not a fan of the more realistic, serious approach they took with it, which removed a lot of the fun IMO. Thankfully we've had other "open-world city games" to fill that void since then, like Saints Row 3 and Sleeping Dogs.

Uh, actually it is.

Which is why they had plenty of time to talk to Rockstar about making a version for their next console launch. That's my point, its not like this would've been a 3 month rush job, they've had years to plan this, and I can guarantee they had a good idea of when GTAV was coming out so they knew it would be possible to make a launch title. In fact if it had been on time it would've meant they had months for the team to work solely on the port to put extra polish on it. I can also guarantee you that they have developers they could have dedicated to porting it so it should not have been that much of an issue for Rockstar, and likely would have helped them get next gen exclusivity.

Yes because Kill Zone is new IP... I'm also not sure how that in any way has anything to do with nabbing GTAV as a launch title but whatever...

Um, they could do both, you know? The best thing for launch is to have good games, it doesn't matter if its new IP or old (in fact a mix of both would almost certainly be best). And sorry, but new IP is often mediocre, and nowhere near the draw of something like GTA. New IP often still sell pretty well because its a launch game and people want games for their new system. GTAV would sell well for the launch, and would help draw people on the fence for months helping keep sales of the new console buoyed.

You do realize a ton of games on the next gen systems are also coming out on the current gen, so its not like this is some crazy outlandish unheard of thing, right?

I like the srsness of the GTA IV story, it's the lack of Side Missions/Activities that makes it a lesser game, IMO.

Yeah. In fact, watching it, I was like, hmm, looks like they took some pages out of Saints Row.

This looks really good because (it appears) it straddles the serious and silly line. I know some people felt Saints Row 3 went too silly, and GTAIV too serious. Saints Row 4 looks to be going all in on the over the top stuff (which I actually think isn't a bad thing as they've committed to it), but this definitely looks like it will go back to finding that middle ground. They can still tell their story, but not let it detract from the people that like to have fun.

I think the best part is the game play that was missing: having to answer your damned phone all the time to deal with annoying acquaintances.
